1. Nathaly & Charo A.


“We are so thankful for Nathaly and her family! They were responsive and quick with our booking, so flexible with drop off/pick up, and kept us updated with pictures throughout the stay. My partner was able to speak with Charo when he dropped off our dog and she was so kind and reassuring. Our dog gets very nervous when we leave and does require a lot of attention, but we felt so calm the whole time due to Nathaly and Charo's reassurance. In all the photos, our guy was smiling and playing - we are so glad to have found their great service and would trust them again in a heartbeat!”


2. Olivia M.

“Olivia was quickly responsive with all of our communications. She inquired about our dog's needs, preferences and habits during our 'Meet and Greet' visit. While we were gone, she often sent us pictures and updates of how our dog was doing. We were very pleased with Olivia's business integrity, and her TLC of our dog. We have just booked another weekend for our dog with Olvia.”


3. Robin & Daniel R.

“Robin and Dan provided such loving and attentive care to Maica. They went above and beyond to keep her feeling safe and at home. They also provided wonderful updates with pictures and fun descriptions of Maica's activities. My dog has certain anxieties and sensitivities and they were very astute to pick up on them and provide the environment and comfort she needed. I was so grateful for their care. It would be my honor if they could care for Maica in the future.”


4. Janet P.

“Janet was great to work with! She took really good care of our dog Kacy. She also made sure to send us regular photos and videos of her, which made us miss her a little less while we were on vacation! We will definitely be coming back when we need help with dog boarding next time.”




5. Lea F.

“I can’t begin to say how happy I am with Lea’s help. I went all the way to Dubai and had to leave my pups alone for a few weeks and I came back and found them as happy as ever! I missed them so much and I’m so happy they were in great hands!”


6. Cindy D.

“I had an amazing experience with Cindy as my dog sitter! She was incredibly friendly, communicated clearly, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Throughout the stay, she kept me updated with plenty of pictures and videos, which I really appreciated. It’s so clear how much she genuinely loves and cares for animals. My dog was happy, well taken care of, and clearly adored spending time with her. I would highly recommend Cindy to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter!”


7. Mary L.

“Mary was a phenomenal cat boarder! We’d never boarded our cats before and Mary allayed all our worries. She is very knowledgeable and experienced with cats and has a wonderful space set up for the ones she’s boarding. We received multiple, thoughtful updates and pictures on the cats each day and Mary reached out when there was information about their care that we had forgotten to provide. She also went above and beyond spending time hanging out and playing with them. We highly recommend Mary and will certainly rebook with her the next time we need to board our cats!”


8. Ching C.

“We couldn’t ask for a better family to leave our pet with. They treat him like he’s their own and send us videos throughout the day. We are very happy with Ching!”


9. Francis C.

“Sonora, our dog, had a lovely boarding experience with Francis C. The write-up on Rover read impressively and the experienced lived up to it. Francis C. is a dog person - the joy, the know how, and the manner of care allowed Sonora to quickly get comfortable. The daily updates were helpful and we were able to travel knowing that Sonora was in good hands.”


10. Adrienne D.

“Adrienne is one of the most responsible and loving pet parents I know. She is caring, reliable and her customer service is top tier. Your pet will be in good hands as she will care for and love them like her own. 10/10 would recommend!”


11. Aditya A.

“I recently had the pleasure of having Aditya’s care for my puppy through dayboarding, and I couldn't be more impressed with the exceptional service received. From start to finish, everything exceeded my expectations. Throughout the stay, I received wonderful photo updates that kept me informed and reassured about my puppy's activities. These updates weren't just appreciated - they were invaluable in helping me feel connected while away from my pet. I highly recommend Aditya to any pet owner seeking trustworthy, attentive care for their furry family member. The combination of professional care, excellent communication, and thoughtful attention to detail makes them truly stand out as an exceptional pet sitter.”

14. Lai Yung C.

“Lai and Winkie are awesome! I highly recommend them. They are very kind and responsive. We felt relaxed while we were away because I constantly received pictures and videos during Lucy’s stay. Lucy seemed to have a good time with them. I’m glad that we found them. I’ll give them 5 stars out of 5.”


15. Dylan C.
“Dylan was an amazing sitter when watching my dog. I have a bigger dog so I was a bit worried at first since she is strong but she immediately responded to his command and took her into the house to play with the rest of the dogs. My dog came back happy and well exercised. I have now sent her to him 5 times and will continue to do so as long as he decides to keep on sitting!”


16. Ashu R.

“Ashu and her family were awesome. She, her partner and her two doggies took such great care of Winston overnight. She gave my little fur baby so much love that I don't even think he missed me while I was gone. Ashu was very communicative and super kind with arrangements. She helped me out in a pinch and agreed to take care of Winston without a meet and greet since I found out last-minute that I had to be out of town. She was super flexible on pick-up and drop-off times and so genuinely happy to take care of my fur baby. Her two dogs that are bigger than Winston seemed to be so sweet and gentle with him. They were so welcoming to a new little friend. I appreciated that she was thorough in asking questions during drop-off, welcomed me into her home to see the space that Winston would be in, and while I was gone she was super communicative and provided me with regular updates and pictures. Winston looked like he fit right into her sweet little family. She even sent me a message the day after I picked Winston up to tell me she missed him. So sweet! Thank you so much for taking such great care of my baby. I really appreciated it! I will definitely be reaching out to Ashu again. If I could leave more than 5 stars, I would. :)”


17. Christina & Nathan C.

“Christina has been wonderful with my dog, Tummy. Sent couple of pictures to update me and my dog seemed comfortable. Easy to talk to and I’m definitely going to book them again.”

“Robert is very professional, reliable and Accommodating.we rately leave our dogs and i am happy to report we had no worries about their care while we were away, whatsoever. He knows dogs and ours took to him very easily.”


19. Sarah H.


“Sarah was able to accommodate us with very short notice. She was so kind and very responsive and extremely flexible with drop off and pick up times. She gave our Maltipoo the attention he needed and he appeared to have enjoyed his time with her. We look forward to future visits with Sarah.”


20. Mike C.

“Mike was amazing with our dog (Mango). Our dog took a liking to Mike right away and at no time throughout her stay was I worried about her care. Mike kept me up to date with texts, pictures, and videos of Mango which helped keep our minds at ease. We will definitely be using Mike again to care for our dog in the future.”
